Michele and I love our flowering crabapple tree. We sit at the garden table under it in the summer when we have breakfast or dinner, and the little crabapples are a treat for the birds all winter long. We also hang a birdfeeder from one of its branches. Last spring the winds blew all the petals off, so we didn't get to enjoy the bright pink display. This spring, however, the petals survived. We're looking forward to summer and, in the fall, a bumper crop of crabapples.

Spring is such a pretty time of the year.
Pretty blooms!
My parotid gland is squeezing. It's having memories of eating crabapples at the Lutheran Church whilst waiting for girl scout meetings to start.
*pucker*
Can you make crabapple jelly or jam? Or just walk on squishy apples as they drop off the tree...They sure are pretty when they bloom!
Crabapples make good jelly. And that is a beautiful tree!
